Summary
Today, we look at the President of South Korea Yoon Suk Yeol declaring martial law.
Protestors gathered outside the parliament building after the President gave the military extra power to “eradicate the despicable pro-North Korean anti-state forces”. Adam speaks to BBC Asia and Pacific Editor Micky Bristow and Dr Edward Howell, the Korea Foundation Fellow with the Asia-Pacific Programme at Chatham House.
And, after the strong reaction to Jaguar’s latest advertising campaign, the new concept cars were finally unveiled in Miami on Monday night. Business Editor Simon Jack and the UK editor of Campaign magazine Maisie McCabe discuss whether the cars live up the advert and what the long-term impact could be for Jaguar.
